The murderer's 12th application for parole was rejected

According to the Daily Mail reported on September 13, the New York State Correction and Community Supervision Department said that 67 -year -old Chapman appeared in front of the parole committee at the end of August, which was his 12th application for parole.

According to the US Broadcasting Corporation, on September 12, local time, Chapman has been rejected for the 12th time.

State government officials have not yet provided a record of Chapman's recent parole, but he repeatedly expressed remorse at the previous parole hearing.

Chapman said his behavior "despicable" at the parole hearing in 2020. He added: "I assassinated him ... because he was very, very, very famous, this is the only reason. I really want to be famous and very selfish. "

On the day of the murderer's case, looking for an idol signature day

At about 10:30 on December 8, 1980, when Lennon and his wife Ono Yoko returned to their apartment in Manhattan, the 25 -year -old Chapman shot and killed Lennon outside the apartment building.

Chapman held 4 shots on the back and shoulders of Lennon with the left wheel pistol. One hour later, Lennon was declared death at the hospital.

It is puzzling that Chapman has always been a fan of the Beatles. In the afternoon of that day, he also held Lennon's album to find him signed. After the shooting, Chapman did not escape. When the police came to arrest Chapman, he was still watching "Watchman in the wheat field".

After that, the public's general view of this blood case was that Chapman suffered from severe schizophrenia. But in the trial, Chapman rejected the mental defense of his lawyer and pleaded guilty.

Chapman was sentenced to life imprisonment and was not allowed before 2000. According to the online state punishment record, Chapman is serving in a sentence of 20 years to a life imprisonment in a punishment in a punishment in northern New York. Chapman had previously said that he felt "more and more shameful" for crimes every year.

After 20 years of prison, Chapman was qualified for parole for the first time in 2000. According to New York State law, he held parole hearing every two years. The next time in February 2024, he will appear in the parole committee.
